You can't read the info of a webp with CF, which was really disappointing for me. The solution for me was that I ran the site I needed to do this on, on Lucee instead, which worked exceptionally well and brought a few other advantages..

I tried this forum's "Search this community" feature as I had posted a solution in the past, but apparently "this community" includes every post in other Photoshop-related groups. (This broadness of results makes the search feature useless.)

I don't believe newer versions support it as that would have been a big feature announcement.

The solution that I use when using CF2016-2023 is to convert WEBP to JPG using third-party ImageMagick.

Thanks for the input. The challange I have is that I'd want to retain the webp file as-is. I need to upload it through the dashboard, read and store it's attributes and then make it available for download. So I can't convert it.

ACS, can you clarify what cfimage actions you'd want to do? I'm only asking in case there may be an alternative to offer some (if not all) actions.

Finally, I was going to suggest you file an enhancement request at tracker.adobe.com, but I thought to check and indeed someone already had. It's at CF-4212258, and though it has no additional votes so far (since 2021), it is marked "to fix", so you never know when one more vote could catch the attention of those responsible. 🙂

As the saying goes, it's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. Well, that's how I roll at least. 🙂
